Provo • BYU running backs coach AJ Steward has a message for fans who were concerned when the Cougars didn’t sign a much-desired workhorse running back when the second signing period began two weeks ago.
“To be honest, the running back situation at BYU is in a good place right now,” Steward said at BYU’s Signing Day news conference on Feb. 6. The term “Signing Day” is misleading, because Feb. 6 was actually just the beginning of the signing period, which ends on April 1.
In other words, Steward and his coaching cohorts are still searching for a running back who can help them in 2019, but are prepared to go with the guys they’ve got if it comes to that.
